Which FM did you find this is? I've been unable to boot windows from lilo since I moved it (windows) to /dev/hdc. I'd guess I need to use 0x82 where you've used 0x81, but I'd rather make sure before I risk it, and I can't see map-drive mentioned in the lilo.conf man page. For a while I was able to boot windows using other=/dev/hdc but this suddenly stopped working, saying "Missing Operating System" Does anyone know what could cause that?
